Backcountry hunting and fishing loadout on an ACS FORGED bed rack
Use Cases / Hunting & Fishing

Haul The Gear, Not Just The Rack

Backcountry hunting and fishing puts you at odds with the wilderness. Whether it's whitetail, steelhead or a next big-game retreat, ACS FORGED keeps everything organized, dry and within reach.

Everything Where You Need It

Pack It Up, Pack It Out

Modularity is the basis of our design, so you can swap your loadout in minutes. Full aluminum-alloy construction at a light 85 lb, with the highest static load rating in the industry at 1,400 lb — ACS FORGED is ready for anything you can throw at it.

Hours from support means you rely on yourself. Stay organized, and get home in one piece with your next harvest.

Built For The Field

Proven On Predator Hunts & Backcountry Roads

A coyote hunt doesn't wait for pavement. ACS FORGED rides in the bed of the truck that gets you to the calling stand before first light, holds the rifle case and gear bag secure over miles of washboard road, and gives you a stable, flat surface to lay out the harvest, break down a rifle or just sit down after a long morning.

The tailgate becomes a workstation — GearPODs keep tools, calls and optics organized within reach, and the sliding rear load bar clears out of the way the moment you need to load up and move to the next stand. Whether it's a morning of predator calling or a multi-day big-game trip deep in the backcountry, the platform takes the abuse of rough roads and repeated loading without loosening a bolt or rattling a panel.

Lock It Down

GearPOD Security, Keyed Alike

GearPOD and GateKeeper share a single keyed-alike lock cylinder — one key opens every GearPOD and the GateKeeper on your rig, so firearms, rods and the harvest stay secured without juggling a keyring.

Want a padlock instead? Both GearPOD and GateKeeper accept an optional padlock hasp for your own lock.

Note: GearPOD HD uses its own dedicated lock and is not keyed alike with standard GearPOD or GateKeeper.

Access, However You Need It

Side-Access Storage & Full Bed Access

Level up your storage game — GearPOD side-access storage compartment open on a roof rack

Side-Access Storage

Every GearPOD opens from the side, not just the top — reach in from the tailgate or walk up alongside the truck to grab what you need without climbing into the bed. It keeps frequently used items like tools, tie-downs and tire repair kits organized and within arm's reach, even with the rest of the rack loaded to capacity. GearPODs come in multiple sizes (including GearPOD HD and GearPOD Roof) so you can mix and match capacity across the rack and roof, and every one is weather-tight and lockable — dust, rain and road grime stay out, and gear stays put over washboard roads and rough trail. Removable and interchangeable across ACS FORGED and ACS ROOF platforms, they can be repositioned or swapped out entirely as your loadout changes from a day hunt to a multi-day backcountry trip.

Dog kennel and harvest secured over a DECKED drawer system in the truck bed

DECKED Drawer Compatible

ACS FORGED and ACS TONNEAU both run clear of the DECKED USA drawer system, so you can run a dog kennel, sealed drawers for ammo and tackle, and a full rack overhead without giving up an inch of bed storage underneath.

Full Bed Access, Patented Design

ACS FORGED features a patented sliding rear load bar that rides the same T-slot channel as every other accessory. Slide it forward and you get full, unobstructed access to the bed of your truck for loading coolers, tree stands or a boat — then lock it back down at full capacity for the drive home, no tools or disassembly required.

Bed Cover

ACS TONNEAU

Compatible with any T-slot style cover — ReTrax or Pace Edwards Explorer series — keeping rods, decoys and the harvest secure and dry underneath. Fully compatible with the DECKED USA drawer system to keep tackle and gear organized on the fly.

Steel brackets and hardware are Zi-Ni (zinc-nickel) plated, then finished in the same epoxy powder coat as the rest of the platform — tested to withstand 1,000+ hours of salt spray exposure, for maximum corrosion resistance whether you're in salt water or a snowy blind.

Note: ACS TONNEAU is not off-road rated, and the sliding rear load bar is not available on the TONNEAU platform.
